<pre>According to the spec for the `URL.hash` setter in <a href="https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#urlutils-members">https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#urlutils-members</a> , assigning an empty string to a URL's hash should remove the fragment identifier. In WebKit however it sets it to an empty string. The result is that the following will produce a '<a href="http://example.com/">http://example.com/</a>' in Chrome/Firefox but '<a href="http://example.com/">http://example.com/</a>#' in Safari.
var url = new URL('<a href="http://example.com">http://example.com</a>');
url.hash = '';
console.log(url.toString());</pre>
